Re: setting up voice mail message

There are 4 types of greetings: personal, busy, holiday, and extended absence. You want the personal greetings. They will provide you with 3 options:1: your number and unavailability are stated, but your name is not mentioned. This is the system greeting by default.2: your name, in your own voice, and unavailability are stated, but your number is not mentioned. This is a semi-personalized greeting.3: you record your own announcement, as you wish it to be. Your greeting can be up to 60 seconds in duration, and messages up to 5 minutes in length. The system will not add your name or number to your greeting.

If you want your phone number to be included by the system, the only greeting that has that is #1 above. If that is unacceptable to you, #3 above is an alternative, but the entire greeting will be in your voice as nothing is provided by the system.

Creating a message from a landline provides no additional options as if the call were made from your Public Mobile number.

Re: setting up voice mail message

The comments I made yesterday are actually partially true. Here is what I said yesterday:

"These instructions are not correct because when I called my number from a landline and press * the automated system tells me "you need to call from your own phone to setup your voicemail, goodbye".

This "you need to call from your own phone....." error message only occurs if you have NEVER setup your voicemail which was the case for me. I just signed up yesterday with Public Mobile and I wanted to setup my voicemail for the first time using a landline which is not possible however once you set your voicemail for the first time with your cel phone then it is possible to get into your voicemail options using a landline by dialing your phone number and once your voicemail message starts by pressing the * button on your landline phone.
